 p.s. does anyone have bibliographic information on a book, probably from
        30s or 40s, by zoologist raymond ditmars written for kids about
        evolution or dinosaurs. had maps with little drawings of dinosaurs
        at their geographic locations drawn on them. nostalgia from my
 grade
        school days. >>

I've been looking for this book for three decades. Same reasons: nostalgia
from my grade-school days. Read the book in grade 6. It was the first book
about prehistoric animals I'd ever seen that mentioned _Aegyptosaurus_,
_Rhoetosaurus_, _Helopus_, and several other dinosaur genera that simply
didn't make it into the usual dinosaur kiddie books of that era. The Berkeley
geology library has a copy, if you happen to be in the area and want to see it
again.
